I would be wary until we see how Marcel's work... Hiko's has 9.5" with +43 offset on his rear and is lowered and he says it fits but is tight.

If Hiko's is tight with a 9.5" and 43+ offset then a 9.5 with 40+ offset will be even tighter.

Now consider this... A 10" rim with a +40 offset will stick out 6mm more than a 9.5" rim with 40+ offset.

In orderwords, a 10" rim with a +40 offset = a 9.5" rim with a 34+ offset.
So if you don't think a 9.5" rear rim with a 34+ offset would work then don't go with a 10" rear rim with a +40 offset cause it's the same thing.

Yeah- As much as I love those wheels, I have pretty much given up on them. Unless someone knows some that look just like em??

I will probably go with Axis Pentas 19x8.5 35mm fronts and 19x9.5 45mm offset rears. I think it should look decent. I hope!!!

 

Actually HP Racing has some that look like those.

 

Ok- What do we think about 19/20 x 9.5 with a 40mm offset in the rear? I am glad you guys know about this stuff! Thanks for ALL the help. Seems like dealers pretty much say, "right lug pattern, itll fit!".

 

Please if you do anything in life DO NOT ask the dealer anything technical cuz they wont know. Save a few good techs or parts guys they dont know jack....

 

Yeah, I have been relying on the expertise of a few of the guys here in the forum. A HUGE thanks to those of you who have helped out!

 

OK, so- I have narrowed it down to this style. These are XIX X-05 wheels. I cannot decide between the machined finish and the chrome. What do you guys think on an '07 Sedan Lakshore Slate? They are offering Falken tires should I upgrade or have you guys had success with these? Thanks for the input and help!!

Specs:
19x8.5 w/ 35mm 245 35 19 Tires
19x9.5 w/ 40mm 275 35 19 Tires

Chrome:

Machined:

 

Machined for sure, 100%!!!!! the Falkens are a pretty good tire.

There was a guy that got those XIX's in black 20's on his garnet ember 07, looked super hott.

DO IT!!!

machined looks sick

 

Machined all the way, they'll look great.

 

ok, SO- the machined XIX wheels are on backorder for a month. These are in stock and look virtually the same. LAST ones I am posting, I will either get these that are in stock, or wait. Again, opinions please.

HHR GT-1 (same specs as others) Silver w/ Polished Lip

 

I think those MRR are good choice. But i'm biased.
Charles @ wheelautohaus had decent wheel tire package.
D2autosport.com carries MRR wheels as well.

 

OK- I couldnt handle the pressure and second guessing anymore. I was tired of trying to decide if the 20x10s would fit or not and it would have been a loooong wait on the XIXs in 19s, so I went with the MRR GT-1s. I also ordered the H&R Sport Spring kit. The wheels should be here by the end of next week and the springs probably shortly thereafter. Depending on the weather here in VA, I may wait a touch to put it all on the car...

Thanks for the help guys! I will be posting pics at some point!

 

Those MRR's should look great, post up pics after the drop asap!!
